I hardly know how to start this post so I guess what the hell let's just jump right in. Friday was my regular oncology appointment as well as blood work and a chest x-ray. October 27th is the day that I will be a 5 year survivor however I was waiting until after this appointment to officially celebrate. Damned good thing I waited.....my chest x-ray shows a dark spot on the left mid lung. Because they could not tell for certain what it is, or is not, I had a CT scan. The CT scan was still inconclusive in regards to what in the hell I have in the ole left lung. One thought from radiology is it may be just a fat nodule...I said 'what the hell I have fat in my lung too?' Although a fat nodule would certainly be preferable to another type of nodule. Soooo Tuesday I go back for a PET scan. A PET is used to find cancer in that if there are cancer cells they will show up as hot spots on the scan. I have attached the link

I will actually get the results Tuesday which is good. It could be a number of things such as I had an upper respiratory virus a few weeks ago and in my opinion that it likely what is remaining in my lung.
So any good thoughts you may have feel free to through em my way:)
